These CDC US reports includes all 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Palua, Republic of Marshall Islands, and US Virgin Islands. These are cases reported to the CDC since January 21, 2020.

Nationwide there have been 70,206,220 reported cases and 862,494 reported deaths associated with COVID-19.

Dr. Nancy Messonnier, Director at the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said in a CDC telebriefing on 3-4-2020: “States are reporting results quickly and in the event of a discrepancy between CDC and state case counts, the state case counts should always be considered more up to date.”

As of this posting, in Georgia over the last 7 days there have been 13,348 new reported cases associated with COVID-19. Click here for more information on COVID-19 in Georgia.
